FTTH_Intro
• Note: mostly used is APC as the 8 degree slope reduces reflection by more than
60dB.
• Typical loss for APC is less than or equal to 0.5 db.
Splices
• Mechanical or spliced.
• Mechanical low cost – high loss.
• Splices higher cost – low loss (Typical 0.02
db.)
• Short length cables – Easy to repair – More
time to assemble – more cost.
• Long length cables – hard to repair – less cost
• Loss can also come from splicing two
different fiber types (G652D to G657)

• Indoor deployments
- Fiber cable: From Segment CO and FDH (Fiber distribution Hub).
- Riser cable: From FDH and FDT (Fiber distribution terminal) or FC
(Fiber collector).
- Fiber distribution hubs (FDH): Cabinets, Enclosures, Splitters and
patch panels.
- Fiber distribution terminal (FDT): Located at each floor and it is the
junction between FDH and drop cable (Connector or splice).
- Fiber collector (FC): Junction between FDH and a few FDTs
